Hello everybody. I was wondering if any of you know where to find good, affordable, lightweight rims. I was looking at the RH rims, the AO-Pheonix and Pheonix II, but im not sure how much they weigh. I think stock rims weight about 27-32 lbs. I was looking for something at max 20lbs. The lighter the better.

Below are pics of the Pheonix and Pheonix II. I am looking for a rim similar to this. Also, if any of you know a good place to buy from let me know. Thanks!

P.S. - I am looking for 18 x 8.5 (or 8.0)

I bought mine from www.buywheelstoday.com they seemed to have pretty good prices with shipping. Check it out.

 

If you are wanting 18x8(.5) you are going tohave to shell outa few bones. O.Z. wheels will have some wheels that meet your needs but look at spending $300-400 a wheel. Enkeis will be a little less $$ but a few more pounds. If your looking for that size and dont wanna spend that much your going to be looking for wheels more in the 25lbs range.

 

Ok, I found my rims that I am going to get. I have a buddy working out the deal for me now. His dad works for continental tire, so he is gonna hook me up with the rubber. Should save me some $. Let me know what you think.

I am getting the 18x8's

Here are the tires:

not a bad combo. cant really go wrong with some axis wheels.

 

That buywheelstoday website is pretty cheap thats probably where i'll get mine when i'm ready.

 

The tires will probably stick like glue, butdid you notice the treadwear rating of 280? They'll probably not last long. Just to be aware...

 

But when you get them for under 100 bucks a tire i dont really care.... I could say I just wont drive hard on the tires but I would be lying! The way I see it is you have to pay to play.
